WHO WE ARE
Since 1996, almost 30 years, the Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) of the First Unitarian Universalist Church Society of San Francisco, a Chapter organization of CUUPS, has been meeting for monthly Full Moon Rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, and for the solar pagan holidays of Winter Solstice and Beltane. We are an open circle dedicated to providing ritual space for all respectful families and individuals of any age. Our policy requires that our rituals are clean and sober, drugs, alcohol, fragrance and animal free. Individuals who rely on an animal companion are welcome but will need to secure their animal away from the the ritual room/space.

​​
Circle ‘Round at the Start of a New Wheel of the Year Cycle with PICT! You are Invited to the Pagan Interest Circle’s Ritual on Saturday, November 8th, 2025, at 6:45 P.M. in the Chapel.
​
We Will Ask: “Who Are We?” “Who Are Our Ancestors? We Will Create a Grounding Ritual to Anchor and Protect Ourselves in These Troubled Times.
​
November 5th brings the first Full Moon of a new yearly cycle. This full moon comes soon after the solar holiday of Samhain, the Pagan New Year, when the Veil between the Worlds is thin, when we mourn our dead and can easily call on our ancestors. It is the beginning of a new yearly cycle, as we enter the Dark of the Year, a time for rest and renewal, reflection, and seeking guidance and wisdom.
​
Native Americans called the November full moon the Beaver Moon. This year, 2025, it is a luminous super full moon in the astrological sign of Taurus. All these energetic influences are auspicious for creating stability and grounding it by focusing on what truly matters. And the Veil Between the Worlds is not yet fully closed.
At this time when many of us feel buffeted by so much negative energy in the political sphere, let’s work with this Full Moon energy for our own energetic renewal in ritual space.
​
To support ourselves and other immigrants living on this unceded land of the Ramatush Ohlone peoples, land that we call San Francisco, we will acknowledge them and call on our ancestors. We will name our core values, magically ground ourselves, and create a Cone of Protection.
​
Come ready to share your story of how you came to be in this part of the world.
Please bring finger food or a nonalcoholic beverage to share after the ritual! Tea will be available. Any question? Contact Christine Patch-Lindsay by text: (415) 424-6864 or email: cplhealer@comcast.net
